Notes
Unfinished models were exported to South Africa from 1966. They were sent as castings and painted and assembled there largely as a way of getting around the laws prohibiting export of finished goods to South Africa at this time. All housed in Dinky boxes with some Afrikaans text and of course most importantly the Arthur E.Harris print on the box.
A most appealing Austin Healey Sprite model finished in turquoise with shiny spun wheels, silver trim, South African (distinctive) rivets, shiny base (minor marking) and as-new fine tread tyres.
In very close to mint, original condition:
One of the rarest Dinky models.
